how to use a claybar?

just wondering if someone can give me an idea on how to use one. i want to wax up my car really good for a car show at the end of the summer but i dont really know how to wax a car well.
im going to use kind of beginner kit for zaino.

Claying is pretty simple, but like anything, if used improperly, you can do more harm than good.

Rather than post a 1 page guide on how to clay, here's a few links that have plenty of info on claying: www.erazer.com www.properautocare.com http://www.carforums.com/auto_help/paint_care/car_paint_clay_bar.php

The basics to remember are:
1) Use PLENTY of lube.....if the clay is catching, dragging, etc on the paint you need more lube. It must glide effortlessly!
2) Work on a cool and clean (just washed) surface.
3) If the clay is dropped on the ground, throw it away. Keeping the clay clean by folding/kneading it is important.

Follow the claying with whatever prep you think your paint needs, then your favorite wax or sealant product for shine and protection.

As far as Zaino goes, I'd read this site first.... http://www.runlevel6.com/bmw/zaino.html
If the link doesn't direct you to the Zaino article, click the "Truth about Zaino" article. It has some very accurate info for those considering Zaino.
